Years back, I had seen people whose shadows were never far apart from each other, always sticking together just like honey and bee. Then after a period of time, they suddenly drift apart either due to disagreement or distance and I always found it unbelievable and probably........... ridiculous.
I mean, how could two or three closely knitted souls become distant, each carrying their cross, minding their businesses and going about their lives like they never crossed parts???
But now having had my own share of such, I know better. It's nothing but a case of, now I'm your everything and the next minute, I literally never existed.
I believe it's in human nature though, to relate quite well with certain persons and after a while, seek different faces. So simply, we grow with some people to an extent and eventually outgrow them.
There's this girlfriend of mine whom I was pretty close to. We were classmates so basically, we saw ourselves every school day but that didn't stop us from chatting up after school and over the weekend as well. It became a routine we couldn't fall out of.
We would talk about anything talkable no matter how irrelevant the topic of discussion might be.
It's actually a mystery how well and fast we clicked given that this girl in question is an introverted introvert, who always kept to herself. She could be sitted right beside you and you wouldn't feel her presence.
However, the moment we became close, she was like a whole new person, free and cool around me, likewise I. After a pretty long while, she began retreating to her old self. Her shell. No messages or calls.
I would call, she wouldn't pick up and when I text asking about this and that, she will simply reply after some hours or days with just a hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii (that's how she makes an entrance, lol) and that's it.
The more I tried to bring up discussions, the more detached she became and worst still, she's always online.
It became a case of a moth to shit as I was always the one texting and calling but yet she would show up with an indifferent response.
Then one day, I didn't text nor call and the day after and again, the day after. I just stopped and moved on.
We've come a long while in each other's lives but it's obvious we've gotten to our respective full stops. So yes, I let her go, to meet new faces and experience new relations as I also do the same.
I grew with her to some extent but then, I had to outgrow her. To keep living.
Images are mine.

It's painful when we try to have a discussion with someone we care about and that person just keep pulling away. I know it mustn't have been easy for you to pull yourself from her, but it was for the besg
Honestly.... It hurt so much coming from her. But in the end, I just had to pull out and move on.
Thanks for popping in 💜.
